I'm starting to get a jump on some Fall recipes. The kid's wanted pancakes for Saturday Morning Breakfast. I wanted to make something special so I combined the two and made Pumpkin Patch Pancakes. Today was far from Fall Weather here in North Texas. We planned on staying in all day because we knew the weather was going to be very bad since Hurricane Ike was coming through. It was a great day to try a new recipe and just stay put in the house.I came across this recipe about a week ago for Pumpkin Patch Pancakes from Laura's at Real Mom Kitchen. I've been wanting to make Pumpkin Pancakes for a long time.

All of the recipe I saw were really complex and required to many ingredients that i did not have on hand. I prefer not to make those kinds of recipes, I like to just keep it real plain and simple.

Laura's recipe was perfect. I did make two adjustments in the recipe. I added brown sugar and vanilla extract.

It wasn't called for but after i made the batter i felt it was just missing something and needed a bit of sweetness, so i started with adding a bit of vanilla extract tried the batter and then added the brown sugar. I think it turned out perfect.

My youngest son Carson is in love with Pumpkin Bread, so i was hoping he would like the pancakes. Well i served them up and Carson is hooked.

The kids had maple syrup with theirs, but me and my husband drizzled on the Apple Cider Syrup. The pancakes and the syrup were decadent. I love this recipe!!!!!!!

I know for sure this is what we will be having for Thanksgiving and Christmas morning Breakfast.

All I can say is you gotta make these pancakes they are OMYGOODNESS Good Ü In true Mommy's Kitchen fashion the full recipe is at the end of the post.

I added the additional brown sugar and vanilla measurements i used to the recipe.

These are the ingredients you will need.Pumpkin puree, brown sugar not pictured I decided to add it after I stared preparing the recipe. Vanilla extract, pancake mix or bisquick, eggs, pumpkinpie spice and milk. Apple Cider Syrup ingredients at the end of this post.

add your pancake mix to a large mixing bowl. I used Bisquick and followed the directions on the back of the box for regular pancakes. Mine required 2 cups dry mix so i doubled each of the ingredients listed below.

add milk then add

eggs,

vanilla extract,

and pumpkin 1/4 cup per 1 cup of pancake mix so double the pumpkin

then add the pumpkin pie spice

mix well with electric mixer

add brown sugar to the batter and blend well again with electric mixer.

Cook your pancakes in a hot skillet or griddle. watch closely when you start to see bubbles flip pancake to the other side.

Look how pretty and golden brown Ummmm they're almost ready at this point I just couldn't wait to dig in.

Lets start to prepare the apple cider syrup. Next time i will do this in reverse order. I will prepare the syrup first so it can cool down a bit while i prepare the pancakes.

It was really hard to wait for the syrup after the pancakes were finished LOL. Ü

I prepared a half recipe of the syrup 4 cups just sounded like a lot. The half recipe was perfect. Add sugar to a small sauce pan.

add cornstarch

pumpkin pie spice

stir in apple juice or cider

mix well and bring to a boil. Boil until desired thickness. If mixture isn't thick enough for your taste add a bit more dry cornstarch to a separate bowl add a bit of the apple mixture to make a paste and add to the sauce pan stir quickly until desired thickness is reached.

Let syrup cool a bit because it will be very hot. Serve over pancakes.

In a sauce pan mix together, sugar, cornstarch, and pumpkin spice. Stir in apple juice or apple cider. Bring to a boil, remembering to stir occasionally.

Boil until desired thickness. Remove from heat and serve over Pumpkin Patch Pancakes.

Tina it looks wonderful. My youngest daughter came home from a sleepover this morning and said the other mom made pancakes with homemade syrup. I am not sure to even know how to attempt that, she said it was so delicious. I am anxious to try this (tomorrow!) I am going to let you know how it went. Yours look very delicious.

If I can do plain pancake syrup I surel can try yours. Thanks for thegreat instructions.Your cooking bud!Joan

Hi Joan I just love it when you stop by. I wastnt sure about attempting the syrup, but I did it!!!! The kids prefered good old bottled syrup on theirs but me and my husband and neighbor loved the syrup. It was really easy to do. LMK how you like the recipe if you end up making it. This one is definitly a keeper.

Stephanie, didnt it just look to die for when you saw them. I couldnt wait to make the either after seeing them at Lauras site. I love the simplicity of the recipe. Dont forget the pumpkin.

Tina, it looks like you're ready for the autumn weather. I am too. We don't make breakfast during the week, but I do like a nice big breakfast on the weekend. And these are going to be on my list to make. Thank you my friend, great post, as always.

Lori, the teachers would love these pancakes. This is a very simple recipe.

Hi Laura, this recipe was wonderful. You need to try the addition of the Brown Sugar and the Vanilla it really makes the pumpkin flavor pop. My kids are already asking for more. I need to make some up and freeze them for before school breakfast, they wanted them this morning but i just dont have the time during the school week.

Teresa I am always jumping the gun on the holidays I have always been that way. We love a big breakfast on the weekends and sometimes breakfast for dinner thats a favorite in our house. I hope you stayed dry on Saturday from Ike. We got a lot of rain in Big "D".

Lunch Buckets, i thought the same thing just serve both maple syrup and the apple cider syrup. It is so yummo you have to make it you will be pleasantly surprised.

Hi VG, I am a step by step learner so i hope this helps everyone out. These are wonderful pancakes. i am so glad i came across the recipe.

Omigosh those look so good! I love pumpkin everything. Your peach ice cream looks awesome, too. I copied these recipes, and I am going to try them out soon. -Mindy, one of the sisters from sisterscafe.

inmomniac, I am not sure on storing the apple cider syrup in the fridge. I had noted in the pictured instructions that i only made a half recipe of the syrup because i thought it would be to much. The half recipe was perfect. You can try and store it in the fridge it use it within the week i assume. Maybe you can look online about homemade syrup storage.
